Re: Thanksgiving jumpers
Hmmm that looks like a sweater to me. Jumpers are dresses or pants.

Re: Thanksgiving jumpers
No they are not. That first hideous object is definitely a jumper in British Eyes. My wife says if I ever catch her wearing one to give her a lethal injection. Sad thing is that people here actually like wearing the things! Eeeeekkk!!

Re: Thanksgiving jumpers
I'm thinking about getting a live turkey and letting it run around the house for Thanksgiving. 
That would be festive wouldn't it?

Maybe I'll get two. Dress one up like a Pilgrim and one like an Indian.

Frankly, I'm disappointed in you lot, not embracing all the US holiday season has to offer.

Re: Thanksgiving jumpers
Rete, an American "jumper" is a British pinafore dress.

Re: Thanksgiving jumpers
Yep -- though technically you have to say "pinafore dress". A pinny is usually open in the back like an apron. (I've corrected my original post!)
